Just when Sun Jian and others were in a heavy mood, a messenger came hurriedly and presented a letter of Fei Ge, saying: "Report to the King of Wu, our spies in Runan have sent Fei Ge to pass the letter."

Everyone's hearts moved, and Sun Jian immediately took the letter from Fei Ge and opened it to read it.

Everyone saw Sun Jian's expression suddenly change, and they suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Sun Ce couldn't help asking, "Father, can Runan be lost?"

Sun Jian shook his head and said, "It's not Runan, but Yingchuan County! Just when all of us were focusing on Runan County, Guo Jia sent a surprise attack on Yingchuan County! What a Guo Jia! What a Guo Jia!"

In the lobby of Runan County, Cao Zhang was staring at an officer kneeling in front of him, covered in blood, looking very annoyed.

He suddenly roared: "Although Yingchuan County is not a Tangchi in Jincheng, it is also a rare and strong city. There are tens of thousands of people guarding it. How could the enemy take it away in an instant?"

The officer was so scared that he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Little man, the villain dare not speak nonsense! Yes, it is true! The enemy came in the night and raided the city gate. When our army reacted, the enemy's large army had already entered the city.

Although General Li led us to resist bravely, the enemy was too fierce. Many officers and General Li were killed, and the city finally fell into the hands of the enemy!"

Cao Zhang paced back and forth, looking anxious.

No wonder he was so anxious. In Yuzhou, there are only two counties, Runan County and Yingchuan County, who are in Cao Cao's hands. Now Yingchuan County is unexpectedly lost, and only one Runan County is left. Cao Zhang is now really becoming an isolated army.

Here I will introduce the situation in the Yuzhou area.

Yuzhou is located between Yanzhou and Jingzhou and Luoyang. Although the area is not large, it is definitely a densely populated developed area in this era.

Among them, Yingchuan County is close to the Luoyang area and is located in the northwest of Runan County. The west of Runan County is adjacent to Nanyang County, the northernmost part of Jingzhou.

An officer came in quickly and clasped his fists at Cao Zhang and said, "General, Liu Bei's envoy is here."

Cao Zhang suddenly seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite me!"

At the same time, Liu Xian, who was far away in Fancheng, discovered that the fighting intention of the Wu army under Xiangyang City had obviously declined, decided to turn troops into Runan to complete the plan to seize Runan that had been formulated before.

At this moment, the female official came hurriedly and presented a book of flying pigeons, saying: "Report to General, Lord Guo Jia's flying pigeons."

Liu Xian was considering the matter about Runan. After hearing this, he immediately took the letter and opened it to read it.

Everyone was staring at Liu Xian. Seeing that Liu Xian actually frowned, they thought that his army had encountered something, and they couldn't help but become nervous.

Lu Bu was the most impatient and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened to the army in Runan?"

Liu Xian sighed as Fei Ge passed the letter, shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect it!"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and became even more anxious.

Lu Bu couldn't help but shout, "There are more than 100,000 troops left in Runan, how could they be defeated by the enemy?!"

Liu Xian was stunned and raised his head and asked, "What did you say? Who said our army was defeated?"

This time it was Lu Bu's turn to be confused and asked in confusion: "Didn't your Majesty just say, didn't you say that 'unexpected'? Could it be that our army was defeated?"

Liu Xian laughed loudly and waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that."

He looked down at the letter in his hand and said, "What I said was not that our army was defeated, but that I did not expect Cao Zhang to give up Runan."

Everyone was surprised and looked at each other. Lu Bu laughed and said, "I've been making trouble for a long time, it turns out that boy Cao Zhang has escaped!"

Liu Xian nodded and said, "Not only did he run away, but he also ran very promptly. Just when Guo Fengxiao was about to start dealing with him and Liu Bei."

He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The soles of his feet were oiled and left! Although our army seized Runan County without bloodshed, it also lost the fighter opportunity to annihilate Liu Bei's main force and Cao Zhang's unit!"

Lu Bu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Our army attacked immediately, and we must kill them without leaving any armor!" Dian Wei immediately agreed.

Liu Xian thought about it and paced back and forth, shook his head and said, "The war has come to an end to this point. Our army fought on various fronts and captured Xiangyang, Xia Pi, Yingchuan, and Runan one after another, and it was a great harvest!

But at the same time, the consumption of our army's food, grass and supplies was really considerable, and the officers and soldiers were also very tired, and the people in the war zone were probably even more miserable!

It’s time to pause the war and let everyone breathe a sigh of relief!”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but miss their wives, children and young people at home, and they couldn't help but feel like returning home.

Not long after, Liu Xian's orders were transmitted to various places, and Liu Xianjun stopped acting in all directions.

However, Liu Xian did not retreat the army that was parked on the front line, and all the troops stopped to rest.

Now Liu Xian's army has already exceeded one million, and most of the troops are now arranged on the line from Jingzhou to Qingzhou.

Nanyang, Xingying Study Room.

Liu Xian was dealing with many official documents transferred from Luoyang under the lamp. Although Liu Xian has issued most of the rights to deal with matters, he still has many things to decide.

For example, the request report he now is about officers, soldiers and soldiers taking home leave in turn. This matter seems not big, but no one can make the decision. Liu Xian must give instructions in person.

Liu Xian wrote the word "Agree" in the official document in a cinnabar pen. He put down the official document and felt a little sore in his back and forth, and he couldn't help but stretch his waist.

I looked out the window and found that the crescent moon had already tilted westward.

At this time, the crowing sound of the roosters coming from afar, is it almost dawn?

At this time, Dian Wei came in from outside and bowed to Liu Xian: "Brother, I know I can't disturb you! But it's almost time for Mao, and it's time for me to rest no matter what!"

Liu Xian nodded, stood up, and said apologetically: "It's hard for you to stay up late with me!"

Dian Wei grinned and said, "I'm nothing!"

Liu Xian walked to Dian Wei, patted his arm, and said, "I'm going to sleep, you can go to rest too." Dian Wei clasped his fists and agreed.

Liu Xian returned to his residence, and he fell asleep in a drowsy manner.
